Thine ox [shall be] slain before thine eyes, and thou shaltnot eat thereof… Shall be taken from the herd, and out of the
field or stall, by the enemy, and killed for the soldiers to feed on,
and not the least part of it given to them:

thine ass [shall be] violently taken away from before thy face, andshall not be restored unto thee; no leave shall be asked to take it,
but without their consent, and against their will, it should be taken
away by the soldiers to carry them and their burdens, and it may be the
booty and spoil of them, and never returned more:

thy sheep [shall be] given unto thine enemies, and thou shall have noneto rescue [them]; not given them by themselves, but they should be
suffered to fall into their hands, and they should never be able to get
them out again, nor any for them. These, strictly and literally taken,
suppose them to be in their own land, when those things would be done,
where they were possessed of farms, and fields, cattle, being much
employed in husbandry; but they may be put for any kind of substance
they would be possessed of, which they should be stripped of under one
pretence or another; which has been frequently their case in their
present dispersion in several countries, and in ours; when Popish
princes have wanted money, they have made very exorbitant demands on
the Jews in their countries, and sadly squeezed and oppressed them, and
who were not able to resist them, and never had any restoration made to
them.
